For the digital scavenger hunt I decided to look at the term “Bluegrass.” I decided on this term because my father plays the mandolin and I grew up hearing the music in my home. Bluegrass today is most associated with country style music, although not the same style. It is often played on the Grand Ole Opry by musicians such as Alison Krauss, someone who I have seen perform live before. It is often said that is has an “Old Southern Sound.” The oldest reference I found of Bluegrass music was in 1923 from a Wall Street newspaper issue. At the time no one had really heard of Bluegrass as many record companies did not sign any artists that played the style. It was written by Gail King, a woman who was based in the Ohio Valley area. She interviewed Bill Monroe for a Bluegrass Mecca who had said that the style of music was called something else before it was referenced as bluegrass. What it had been called before no one really knew. The style of music was originally from the old south so it used instruments like a banjo, mandolin, fiddle, bass and guitar. This is where the origins of the sound came from and those who played the music in the south and slowly transformed it to what the genre is today.
